...whole trend set some of the stuffier law firms and various executive rows into re-examining traditional codes of dress. For the first time, reporters covering Congress were allowed to enter the press galleries without suit coats and ties. But a valiant attempt to extend that right to members of the House was squelched by a surprisingly decorous House Speaker Tip O'Neill. When Jim Mattox, a Texas Democrat, showed up in a light blue shirt and no tie, O'Neill asked him to leave...
